Walberswick Red- foot & 'Angels of the woods'

On Sunday 6 June, the fine immature male Red- footed Falcon (with sooty grey plumage & brick red around the thighs and slightly smaller an squatter than the more angular slightly larger Hobbies). The Red- foot was seen in flight along the west end of Westwood marshes reached from the path running west from the dilapidated wind pump plus at least 5 Hobbies, Buzzard and 2 Marsh Harrier, Bearded Tit, pothole between Walberwick & Hoist Covert. Towards the end of the observation the bird came much closer and goodviews were At a Suffolk wood, saw Sam who very kindly showed me where the 2 Butterfly Orchids were, plus 5 Birds Nest Orchids, further back. Back at Sotterley Chapel, it had clouded up & the Spotted Flycatchers were heard but not seen but 3 Common Twayblades seen at the back of the cemetery. Again no sign of the Turtle Doves nearby.
